In an interview to New York Magazine’s The Science of Us, the 18-year-old girl has given details of her two year relationship with her biological father. In fact, they are planning to marry this April.
In the interview, the young woman tells New York Magazine’s Alexa Tsoulis-Reay about her upbringing, her estrangement from her father and their reunion.
In her words: ” There’s a reason I lost my virginity to him — because I’d never felt comfortable with any other man. It was insanely sensual. It lasted for about an hour and there was a lot of foreplay. We both had orgasms. We are so similar, so it’s so easy to s*xually please each other. For example, we both love neck-biting. I’ve never been in a more passionate, loving, fulfilling relationship.”
“I have some memories. He spoiled me rotten. I had this giant storage tote of Barbie dolls and I had my own Mary-Kate and Ashley bedroom. It was a little girl’s dream. We’d sit in the yard blowing bubbles together, and he took me to the zoo where he bought me a stuffed animal that I kept until I was 16. I ended up washing it and stupidly put it in the dryer, which melted all its fur. I remember he gave me a miniature tea set. I still have it. After the divorce with my mum, my mum left with me and I didn’t see him until 12 years later”
After they made contact on Facebook, she and her dad realised that they had quite a bit in common.
“We chit-chatted online for a few days and found out we were similar. We shared the same favourite TV shows — The Simpsons and The Big Bang Theory — and we both love to draw. He came to see me about a week later. You wouldn’t have believed we hadn’t been around each other for 12 years. The idea of “getting to know him” seemed strange because we are so much alike. He came and hung out all day and then I asked to come spend a week with him”.
During the stay with her father, the pair became closer. The father was still living with his girlfriend at the time, but because his daughter was feeling anxious, her father slept on the couch and she slept on the floor. Things got…hard.
“Sleeping in new places makes me very anxious so I asked him to stay with me in case I had one of the terrible nightmares I usually experience. The second night I had him sleep on the couch again and then the third night I fell asleep with him on the floor lying on his chest, in his arms. The fourth night rolled around and we ended up on the floor again. This time we actually cuddled. When he woke up, we were spooning. I didn’t know this at the time but later, after we admitted our feelings, he told me he had had “morning erection” and had gone to fix it.
That night we were play-wrestling in the room I was going to sleep in and I bit him. He was wearing a pair of basketball shorts and a tank top and after I bit him I could see goose bumps pop up from his toes to his shoulders. Then he pinched my inner thigh and I got goose bumps.
We stopped and said that we didn’t know what was going on but admitted that we had strong feelings for each other. We discussed whether it was wrong and then we kissed. And then we made out, and then we made love for the first time. That was when I lost my virginity.
And it was apparently pleasing (argh!)
He made sure I wanted to do it. We both initiated it and he kept asking me if I was okay, not because he thought I was distressed but because he wanted me to know that we could stop at any point. It was like any other man and woman having sex after they had each admitted their feelings.
It wasn’t weird at all. It felt so natural. It didn’t even feel taboo. I felt like I had just made love with a man who I’d been with for years i love him. he is the man for me and we are moving to New Jersey where it is legal so we can get married this April”. She concluded
The phenomenon of genetic s*xual attraction (or GSA) is a case where family members are sexually attracted to each other because of similarity in DNA and is more common where close relatives first meet as adults. The idea is that people are attracted to people who are like them. In some cases very, very like them. It has been recorded in cases where adopted children meet their biological parents or adult siblings meet for the first time.
